Basic Piano Playing

The Disklavier is a versatile instrument offering various functions that integrate innovative technologies, but let’s start with the most basic use of the piano: playing the keyboard.

Playing the Acoustic Piano (Acoustic Mode)

Play the keyboard as you would play any acoustic piano. You do not need to “turn the Disklavier on”.

Playing the Digital Piano (Quiet Mode)

Put the Disklavier in Quiet mode when you want to play the keyboard more quietly or more privately than on the acoustic piano. When Quiet Mode is activated, you are essentially playing the digital piano. Since the play sound is output through the Monitor speakers*, you can adjust the volume to your preference.
